Intel Xeon‑Gold 6346 Processor

The Intel Xeon Gold 6346 is a server/workstation processor with 16 cores, launched in April 2021. It is part of the Xeon Gold lineup, using the Ice Lake-SP architecture with Socket 4189. Thanks to Intel Hyper-Threading the core-count is effectively doubled, to 32 threads. To further increase overall system performance, up to two Xeon Gold 6346 CPUs can link up in a multi-processor (SMP) configuration. Xeon Gold 6346 has 36 MB of L3 cache and operates at 3.1 GHz by default, but can boost up to 3.6 GHz, depending on the workload. Intel is building the Xeon Gold 6346 on a 10 nm production process, the transistor count is unknown. The multiplier is locked on Xeon Gold 6346, which limits its overclocking capabilities.
